Head off on an Indian adventure

India is a very popular destination for travellers from the UK for many different reasons. Holiday-makers love the culture and its beautiful beaches of Goa, business people travel to the technological hub that is Bangalore and there are a large number of people with Indian heritage living in the UK who head home to visit family throughout the year.

Officially the Republic of India, it is a country in South East Asia and the most populous democracy in the world. As an established member of the British colony in the 18th and 19th centuries, India formed a strong connection with Great Britain with many Indian people emigrating and settling in the UK during the 20th century in particular.

As it is such a huge country with so many visitors, India has several international airports. Flight time from London to Mumbai is just over eight and a half hours and the time difference is five and half hours.
